Inspired by the creative mind of David Byrne of Talking Heads and his groundbreaking show 'American Utopia'. His masterpiece highlights the beauty in keeping it simple, yet creating a feast of sight and sound. We have adopted his philosophy by taking a leaf from his book, bringing something truly unique for the Australian stage. Although it's not a tribute of his music, it is a celebration of his unbridled creativity where we’ve adapted it to a long list of classic music from various artists over a four decade span.

Bringing to life the music by, ELTON JOHN, BOWIE, SUPERTRAMP, OZZY OSBOURNE, ROLLING STONES, ELO, GENESYS, T.REX, THE CHURCH, PETER GABRIEL, THE WHO & MORE...
